Your new Portable Spa is totally self-contained and portable. You will probably have a site picked out for your new spa, whether it's outdoors or indoors, on a patio or deck, the following points need to be considered.
Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make sure that the location you select can support the weight.

Most spa owners prefer a level site. However, a spa may be installed on a sloping site. A patio which has a slight 'fall' to allow rain water to run off is fine. The water line naturally, will not meet the tile line with this type of installation. It is however, very important to have a flat site with no humps, no hollows and no twist. A spa filled with water and bathers weighs over 1 tonne and the larger spas over 2 tonne. If a spa is installed on a site that is not flat, the spa may slowly distort, which could cause damage to the spa.

The equipment compartment houses all the electrical components. Position it in a place from which water will drain easily. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can cause damage to the electronics or may result in tripping the circuit breaker on your power cord.

Check that there is enough room for the door of the equipment compartment to be opened and that there is space to kneel in front of this compartment when you are attaching your garden hose to the built in drain connection for emptying the spa.

The site must have easy access to the Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (E.L.C.B.), which is located at the end of the power cord and needs to be manually reset it the power has been turned off.

Allow for space for the cover to go while you are enjoying soaking in your spa. Five of the HotSpring Spa Models have the option of a Cover Cradle, a cover lifting device, which tips the cover over the back or side (depending on the model) which makes life easier for you, and saves you having to remove the cover physically. Allow for extra room the cover cradle takes up when it is tipping the spa cover. Ask your Wright Spa Pools Representative for further information on the cover cradle.

If your new spa is adjacent to lawns, sand or gravel areas, you will increase the amount of debris or grit, which is inadvertently brought into the spa water from bathers feet. Wright Spa Pools can provide a 'Spa Vac' that sucks up sand, dirt and grit if you have this problem.

Consider delivery of the spa and ease of access as well (see delivery).
